參考答案

1.D解析：選項A出現(xiàn)在第一段，學生們經營咖啡屋賺了不少錢。選項B和C出現(xiàn)在第五段，學生們一邊經營，一邊學習經商，還能拿到學分。選項D文中沒有提到。

2.D解析：本題屬細節(jié)題。文章倒數第三段第一句已明確點明。

3.C解析：參見句子：IntheFarEastinancienttimes,theumbrellawasallowedtobeusedonlybyroyaltyorbythoseinhighoffice.

4.A文中第七句提到，日本用于教育類節(jié)目的時間占60％。所以選A項。

5.C

6.A

7.C解析：本題為細節(jié)辨認題。文章在第三段開頭就指出現(xiàn)代的鐵絲網的材料不同于過去，它由雙股構成因而更為結實。

8.C參見文章第三自然段“AsaresulttheseareassendoutlessheatandlightandthusappearfromtheEarthtobealmostdarkirregularsurfacepatches”可知太陽斑點是由于這些地域散發(fā)較少的光和熱所以從地球上面這片區(qū)域幾乎是黑的不規(guī)則的表面塊。但事實上并不是太陽上的黑洞。

9.B文章主要講的是到北美的移民，所以選B。

10.B解析：第二段。根據上下文，they代表小石子。這是一種擬人的寫作手法，給物體以生命。選項B是正確的。

11.B

12.D解析：第二段。有人請Williams寫本兒童的書，他接受了，并想把自己的作品寫得與眾不同，但當他開始運作這件事時，他腦子里還沒有清晰思路。選項D是正確的。

13.D

14.B綜合全文，本文的最佳題目為“阿基米德定理”，即放入水中的物體排開水的重力等于它所受到的浮力。

15.C

16.B文章第一段提到了將寫作水平差的學生比做患病的病人，所以正確答案應是B項。

17.A由首段得知本文旨在介紹通過手機短信創(chuàng)造一種全民警報系統(tǒng)，緊接著介紹這一方案的操作辦法及范圍，B、C、D三項均與主題無關，故答案為A項。

18.B解析：通讀全文可知，作者認為男孩和女孩在學習理科上面并沒有智力上的差異，因此可推斷B為正確答案。

19.A解析：全文說的是關于家長的社會地位與其孩子成長的關系。文章的第一句就點明了主題。選項A是正確的。

20.B解析：這是一個工作招聘廣告。一共六份工作。首先要看題干所給的已知條件，抓住一些關鍵詞，諸如年齡是21歲，兼職，能工作的時間是晚上，依據這些條件到文中去找。第二條招聘廣告中的Parttimejob，workduringtheevening，需要的年齡是18～26等都符合題干的要求。

21.B只有B項文中沒有提及。其他三項均能在文中找到依據。

22.C解析：問以哪種方式付費必須等兩天或更長時間才可得到答復。答案是byfax。此項下有：Pleaseallowatleast48hoursforreply,ifrequired.

23.C解析：做細節(jié)判斷題的原則就是一定要在原文中找到準確的定位。

24.A解析：本題屬邏輯推理題。由第四段第二、三句可知，“elevator(梯子)”只是“fromthegroundtothebottom”，如果要到“theheadoftheStatue(自由女神像頂)”，只能走(walkup)。

25.C解析：參見最后一段。

26.B解析：第二段。北美人認為這個植物是有毒的，他們認為吃了它肯定會死。選項B是正確的。

29.B解析：見原文最后一段。判決之后，家屬可以拿到25萬美元的賠償。

30.BB項是正確的。作者以Sam為例，但并不是告訴讀者如何修Sam的車(A項)；文章也并不是談分析問題的必要性或重要性(C項或D項)。

31.C解析：save意為“保留，留存”。

32.A此處表示使鍛煉成為你的13常行為規(guī)范，根據第一句話也可以推出答案。而B項weekly“每星期的”；C項monthly“每月的”；D項quarterly“每季的”，都不合邏輯，故選A。

33.A

34.B解析：more...than的句型說明畫家傾向于前者而不是后者，空后有介詞in，可以斷定選項B是正確的。

35.D解析：見上一條。

36.D聽聽那些在政府辦公室的候選人怎么說吧。

37.A根據上下文的意思可知，人們學習英語的目的不同，掌握語言的程度也不同。

47.A解析：這個鎮(zhèn)上著名的巖石蘊藏著令人難以置信的化石層。

49.B解析：根據題意，顧客在不感到饑餓的時候，常常不會買不需要的東西。

50.Batone"sbest“強有力的，全盛的”。one"s表示它所代表的事物，為所有格。應為its，這里it指的是rationalization“強辯，說明”。選項B是正確的。

51.D本題考查日常交際用語。

【應試指導】句意：——你介意我在這里吸煙嗎?——是的，你最好不要吸煙。Doyoumind…?句型用來表示請求對方的許可，即詢問對方是否介意。如果同意，答語用否定形式，如果不同意，答語用肯定形式。所以，如果答語是N0，表示不介意，一般用helpyourself，排除A、B兩項。如果答語是Yes，表示介意，不同意，故D項是正確答案。
